As we think about what makes a good leader from Titus 1:5-9 – join me in praying that God will raise up leaders of godly character and gospel convictions who can serve among us for God’s glory.  Also pray that we’d all be good followers of Jesus Christ, first and foremost.
At the Wollongong Regional Conference last week Tim Dyer shared with the Church workers from the Anglican Church about ‘followership’.  One of the things that struck me was the power and influence of the ‘first follower’.  A leader can be doing a great job of teaching and modelling the Christian life, but the first follower shows everybody that a normal person can do it and often is the most important step in everybody getting on board.  
Your commitment to Christ and participation in Church life is much more powerful and influencial than you may realise.  As you strive to live a godly life in obedience to Christ you are having an influence on everyone around you.  For more on this concept see the Dancing Man leadership video.
Blessings,
Ben
